Alex Cora Pushes Red Sox to Improve Amid Injuries, Wild Card Race

Cora cooled October talk after Boston dropped to 81-67 with a two-hit loss to New York. “We have to be better offensively,” he said, noting absences of Wilyer Abreu and Roman Anthony. Abreu could return next week, Anthony unlikely before playoffs. Boston trails Blue Jays by 4.5 in AL East, holding a slim wild card cushion.
